[Mingw-users] clock_gettime

[DAVENPORT, MARC]

Is there any chance of clock_gettime being implemented in MinGW? MinGW64
has it but I don't like MinGW64. Source code is public domain. See link
below. It would also need at least clockid_t and clock_getcpuclockid.

Hmm, their CLOCK_MONOTONIC wraps, and rather quickly too on some machines [1]; it's
nothing more than a dirty hack as it's not monotonic at all.

Unless I'm missing something non-obvious...

Cheers,
Peter

[1] I've seen machines wrap the performance counter within the hour, albeit many
years ago, but the non-handling of the fundamental timer wrap problem persists.
